A consortium lead by QinetiQ is developing a
framework for
evaluating radiation effects in Mars orbit and on the surface of Mars
and its moons. DH Consultancy's r&ohat;le in the project is to develop
a SPENVIS module which ties together the various models and tools
that are being produced by the consortium.

Validation of Computational Tools

This project, led by QinetiQ, consists of an independent, quantitative assessment of
the different radiation transport/shielding analysis tools and methods
that may be used to assess radiation environments at equipment and
component level by spacecraft and subsystem manufacturers.
